HEADLINES:It has been fairly quiet over the last week. There were some patchy areas of sleet and snow flurries on Friday and Saturday. Nothing too significant and this did not cause any problems.

Our next storm system is going to be a warm one. Warm and moist air will start to stream northward on Tuesday and Wednesday of our new work week. This will lead to shower chances by late Wednesday night and/or Thursday. On and off rain chances may linger into the weekend.

I can't rule out a few thunderstorms this week - most likely on Thursday. We will need to monitor for severe storms on Thursday. Threat appears small, but not zero.

Temperatures will rise into the 50s and possibly 60s this week. A nice break from our recent cold spell. The warmest day would likely be on Thursday - ahead of the cold front.

Much colder weather is possible around the 16th-25th of January. Long way off and plenty of time to monitor!

Thunderstorms possible by Thursday - I will monitor and update as necessary.

Monitor updated forecasts for Thursday. There could be some thunderstorms

Wild cards will be temperatures this week - a warming trend is definitely in the cards. Expect highs to reach into the 50s and perhaps 60s in front of our next storm system.

If you are a weather enthusiast then I recommend listening to WeatherBrains each week! For a more in-depth look at what is happening in meteorology.

Now is a GREAT time to buy a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. Better to have one before storms strike than to be without one during an event. I recommend the Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
